Youngblood Cosmetics - Mineral Make-up

Mineral make-up is manufactured with minerals in very fine powder mixed with a variety of natural inorganic colourings.

Mineral make-up does not block pores or cause pimples, it allows the skin to breathe. So, for those who suffer from acne, dryness or rosacea, mineral makeup permits them to take advantage of a skin-friendly product which will not exacerbate their problems. As well, mineral make-ups are inorganic, which means that bacteria and microbes cannot live in the makeup and infect the skin.

For women who complain of oily skin, mineral make-up can provide an excellent solution. The usual chemical-based make-ups are oily. These oils cause a lot of issues, especially in women with an oily complexion. Mineral-based make-ups use no oils in their manufacture.

The fact that the ingredients are inorganic also means that no preservatives need be included and that the make-up will have a long shelf life, so long as reasonable care is taken to apply the make-up with clean brushes.

Unlike heavier chemical-based make-up, mineral make-up does not feel like a ‘mask’ on the skin,. Mineral make-up also leaves the skin with a very natural radiant glow, due to the light reflecting minerals.

Many women report that wearing mineral make-up feels like wearing no make-up at all.

The Youngblood range has ingredients designed for the purpose of improving the well-being of skin. This includes a broad spectrum of UVA and UVB sun protection, as well as zinc, magnesium and some anti-inflammatories.

How does mineral make-up compare aesthetically to chemical-based cosmetics? Mineral make-up is well-suited for hiding the skin’s wrinkles, crow's feet and fine lines, due to the fact it reflects sunlight. It results in a very healthy look. Mineral make-up need only be applied once a day and is water resistant. Also, unlike chemically-based alternatives, you can even go to sleep with mineral make-up on, so you can apply it before retiring for the night if you know you will be rushed for time the following day.

Mineral make-up does not damage the skin with oils and chemicals. It does not block the skin's pores or provide a breeding ground for bacteria. It includes a guard against the sun’s radiation and it provides the wearer with a healthy and natural aura.
